1. INTRODUCTION

Dear Fellow Collector, A few months ago, I reassessed the personal effort required to produce 12 monthly editions of "Wolf's Plumb Bob News" and decided to reduce production of my newsletter to one each quarter, rather than one/month. Since this edition will be my fourth newsletter this year, I realize that I have enough material to generate a fifth newsletter this coming December, which will be an abbreviated edition! Topics I have considered for my final 2015 abbreviated newsletter include:

Alignment of front wheels on old cars

The plumb bob in the film of Jules Verne "Journey to the Center of the Earth"

Pins with pictures from plumb bobs

The weight (plummet) of the chimney sweeper

The word "plumb bob” or "plummet” in different expressions of each language

The plumb bob in building aircrafts

Other interesting topics which may arise during the next few months

If YOU have topics or pictures you deem interesting for inclusion in my final December newsletter, please send them to me during the next few months – I will be happy to review them!. Today, I searched my archives, searching for the results of eBay auctions from the period between 2007 - 2009. Many of them are now in collections of

friends. I've added some comments for a better explanation. Of special interest was correspondence from members of the Leistner family with news and a information from a collector about a unknown plumb bob with a very interesting internal reel mechanism. As always, I look forward to receiving feedback regarding such topics from the readers of my publication. I received an email from a fellow names Clay, while on holiday: “A plumb bob we recently saw in Taif, Saudi

Arabia, Clay“

I love to receive such photos-please keep sending

them to me! Not every plumb bob is PATENTED or MADE WITH EXPENSIVE MACHINES.

Cheers

Wolfgang

about this PNTC plumb bob from a

friend in 2008. Thanks Wayne

Hello Wolf, Every other year the PNTC (Pacific Northwest Tool Collectors) hosts a gathering called The Best in the West….This is usually a 3-4 day event and a large banquet is held on Sat. night. At the banquet---we as members of PNTC can receive up to two favors (which we have prepaid) … Wayne Additional Information from the Internet: It is a limited edition of 202 castings, sequentially serialized, boxed and labeled for presentation to full meeting registrants on August 19, 2000. The plumb bob design and art work was done by member and plane maker Christopher Laarman. Castings were done by Cranston Castings of Rhode Island. Machining, polishing, packaging and labeling was accomplished by a dedicated team of PNTC volunteers. This bob is bronze with a steel tip and is about 2 1/4" long and weighs about 4 ounces..

3. PAUL LEISTNER FAMILY NEWS

As you know, Paul Leistner was a famous

maker of excellent brass plumb bobs in St.

Louis, MO and St. Charles, MO.

For more information regarding the

Leistner's family and his business

operations, view my web site on the page

titled

“Heimbach and Leistner”:

The German Art of Metalwork St. Louis and St. Charles Missouri

By Nelson Denny and Mike Urness.

This summer, I contacted Bob Allard, a

member a member of the Leistner family.

The following information I obtained from

Bob revealed that Leistner's manufacturing

operation was not confined to just making

plumb bobs:

Some excerpts from my initial e-mail

correspondence with Bob: “Hello, my wife is a granddaughter of Paul Gustav Leistner. We were delighted to see the

work you have done both with the history of Paul

Leistner's Manufacturing and also with the Churchbook records you researched. My wife

has two of the plumb bobs. They are both small

surveyor models. We also have a brass bed, four

bed warmers and an ashtray from his company. We would love to find a few more plumb bobs.

Can you advise how we might find some?

Thanks for any help you can give,

Bob Allard”

Bob's second correspondence with Mike and

I a few days later I learned more about Paul

Gustav Leistner III's family and creative

design and manufacturing pursuits:

“Hi Mike and Wolfgang,

Thanks for getting back to me. My wife Betty is

the daughter of Paul Gustav Leistner III. Paul was born in St. Charles and moved to St. Peters

after he married. He had some of the same

creative and mechanical talents as his grandfather. He tinkered around and built things

I believe while he was still in his teens. He

supervised in one of the railroad car companies until they went out of business. He spent most of

his years as a carpenter but had the knowledge

and skills to work with a variety of materials.

They had two daughters that survived to

adulthood. We have several tables and chests with inlaid designs that he made.

Shortly after Betty and I married we moved to

Cincinnati, Ohio and a few years later to

Murfreesboro, Tennessee where we now live. There were two brass beds. One is a rounded

headboard design that we have and the other is

rectangular which Betty's sister has. I am not aware of any markings on them but will look

more closely. …

… Now Paul called them bed warmers. I had never seen the water bottle with the insert slot

until seeing the patents. The basic shape we have

is the same but the sides are solid without the

slot in the side. These are marked 'patented 1911'. When I first saw the patent I thought Paul

had taken his basic bed warmer and created an

entirely new product. More later,

Bob”

He also sent me some interesting photos of

the family with some remarks and photos of

things made in the Leistner factory.

The family photo has a notation that it was

taken in 1940 or 1941

#1 Eugene Paul Leistner, born 1916

#2 Paul III Leistner (Gustav, called George),

born 1917. Paul III is the father of Betty

Allard, born Leistner.

#3 Paul Jr Leistner born 1889, the fourth son

of Paul Gustav Leistner, born 1858 from

Falkenstein, Germany

#3 is the husband since 1913 of #5 Eugenia

Graslauf born 1892. The two are also sitting

on the Harley-Davidson on the other photo

but around 28 years earlier.

#4 Martha Maria Leistner, born 1915



The Harley-Davidson photo has a notation

on the back that Paul Jr. and Eugenia

Graslaub eloped, riding the motorcycle to

Clayton, Missouri and that was the date of

the photo. This was August 1913.

(Aug. 30, 1913 they married)

The brass handlebars were added by Paul

Jr. for Eugenia to hold on to.

From a Harley web site:

Model 5-D (V-Twin) 1909

The six-year-old Harley-Davidson

Motor Company introduces its

first V-twin powered motorcycle.

With a displacement of 49.5 cubic

inches, the bike produces seven

horsepower. The image of two

cylinders in a 45-degree

configuration would fast become

one of the most enduring icons of

Harley-Davidson history. Also

available for the first time from

the Motor Company are spare

parts for motorcycles.

We know that

Paul Leistner

made nice brass

products as foot

warmers, garden

tables, fences or

plumb bobs …

… but I never heard of CANDLE HOLDERS,

ASHTRAYS,

BRASS BEDS

PICTURE FRAMES

and

INLAID TABLES …

Together with Bob Allard, I modified and

updated the 2010 family record of the

Leistner family in Germany before their

immigration to St. Louis in 1879, filled with

information of the “Needle maker guild” in

Auerbach and data from the internet.



4. UNKNOWN MECHANICAL PLUMB BOB MADE IN St. Louis, MO

This story started with a short email from

Robbie, the tool collector near St. Louis, MO, U.S.A who briefly owned the plumb bob:

“Partial label inside top part from St Louis,MO.

I cannot make out the maker because the label is partially missing. Any help identifying the maker would be most appreciated. Label also says "Pat. applied for" “ Attached some photos ….

The rest of the label (position see red arrow in

the picture above) reads …GHS … LOUIS, MO.

.APPLIED FOR. (fig. below)

The FUNCTION:

When you pull out the line, the central rod is

turning. To rewind the line you have to turn the

rod by hand. Robbie the collector sent me a video about this function. Unfortunately we

found no brake mechanism to stop and fix the

line in a desired position and no spring of other mechanism to wind the line automatically.

When I published my Patent NEWS in 2007 I

only found 3 (old) patents of plumb bobs with

HORIZONTAL reels inside. Not from all of them I have a photo, some exist as patent

drawing only. This was one that was not shown

in any patent drawing before. That was all information I had.



Left photo: A Heimbach millwright plumb bob,

Right photo: The unknown mechanical type.

At first glance, the unknown plumb bob's general

body shape and especially the cap looked very

similar to a plumb bob made by Heimbach. in St. Louis in the 1880s. (See figs. above).

I authored a story with Nelson Denny and Mike

Urness in 2008 titled "Heimbach and Leistner “HEIMBACH AND LEISTNER PLUMB

BOBS” made in St Louis and St. Charles. For

the full story, please visit my web site. Joseph

Heimbach worked in St. Louis between 1882 and 1896 (and worked together with Paul

Gustave Leistner).

Further investigation on the unknown

mechanical plumb bob.

The last letters of the name on the label were …GHS. So I searched in Google PATENTS for

an inventor in St. Louis ending with …GHS. The

only name that I found was BURROUGHS. However, a review of patent records revealed

that no plumb bob patents were granted to

WILLIAM SEWARD BURROUGHS. Detailed

scrutiny of the plumb bob revealed the term ‘Patent applied for’, meaning WSB submitted a

patent application, but possibly did not receive

one from the US patent office.. Numerous patents are attributed to WSB, most

related to calculating machines. Some other

include:

No. 255,488 FOLDING COOP

Filed Jan. 5, 1882 publ. March 28, 1882

Assignor to Amos E. Colby

No. 370,313 PATTERN MAKERS TRAM Filed Sept. 29, 1886 publ. Sept. 20, 1887

Assignor to the BOYER Manufacturing Co.

Especially this patent shows that Burroughs invented measuring tools. (See fig. right)

No. 396,070 RIBBON WINDING DEVICE Filed Nov. 22, 1887 publ. Jan. 15, 1889 ASS. TO THE AMERICAN ARITHMOMETER CO.

No. 388,119 CALCULATING MACHINE Filed Nov. 30 1887 publ. Aug. 21, 1888 ASS. TO THE AMERICAN ARITHMOMETER CO.

No. 420,618 DEV. FOR RECORDING NUMBERS

Filed July 11, 1888…publ. Feb. 4, 1890 ASS. TO THE AMERICAN ARITHMOMETER CO.

No. 468,414 ELECTRIC ALARM CLOCK

Filed Mar.25, 1890 publ. Feb. 9, 1892

No. 504,963 CALCULATING MACHINE

Filed May 5, 1892 publ. Sept. 12, 1893 ASS. TO THE AMERICAN ARITHMOMETER CO.

The BURROUGHS family:

Edmund Burroughs * 1826, profession MECHANIC had two sons Charles and William

(and daughters). He moved in 1881 or earlier

(without his wife and daughters) from Auburn, New York to St. Louis, MO.

Edmund Burroughs was described as an

“unsuccessful inventor”. All the biographical

accounts agree that William Seward

Burroughs’ suffered from a “long and serious

illness” and that the illness was Tuberculosis.

Doctors recommended leaving the severe cold of Auburn winters for a milder climate. His move

to St. Louis and the initial partnership with his

father there was the result. The desire to build an

adding machine that he had expressed earlier would now become an obsession.

Name of the model shop:

Edmund Burroughs & Son, Mechanics In an ad 1881 we read “pattern maker for casting

with 4 years experiences”. That gives us a start

in 1877 in St. Louis.



William showed an early talent for tool use and

like his father, he was always building

something. A check of the St. Louis 1880 census records

finds William Burroughs and his wife, Ida,

living at 835 South Seventh Street. Burroughs’ father Edmund is living there with them.

The 1880 St. Louis directory shows Edmund

Burroughs as a mechanic operating his business

at 114 N. 7th St and residing at 703 Chestnut. In 1880 William came to St. Louis, and for a

short time thereafter worked in his father’s

model shop on Pine Street. Later he worked for the Future Great Manufacturing Company, on

Morgan Street, and still later for Hall & Brown,

on Broadway, in the manufacture of wood-working machinery. His experience with his

father and these two firms, covering in all a

period of about three years, constituted his entire

training in practical mechanics. He had, however, a genius for theoretical mechanics, and

his experience in his father’s shop brought him

into contact with many inventors. In 1886 he worked for Boyer Manufact. Co.

Remark: All articles in the internet about

William S. Burroughs are specialized to his later

invention of ADDING MACHINES for banks. So only few information talk about the time

before or outside of this object.

J. O. Heimbach lived “next door” (in 1882) and 1883-1885. (see map of St. Louis above)

Conclusion: It could be that William S.

Burroughs invented and made the plumb bob in the first years of his time in St. Louis 1881 -

1884. He needed money for his family and his

work on the calculator and he worked in

different factories. On the other hand it could be that his father

Edmund B was the inventor and maker of the

mechanical plumb bob, however there was no

other patent records to confirm so.

Last step: Filling the INCOMPLETE LABEL with the name.

It fits!

Mike Urness, St. Louis, MO now is the owner of

this plumb bob. He wrote to me: “It is the most

unusual and interesting bob I've seen in a long time and with that paper label having St. Louis on it, I just had to have it.“

Next step: He will ask the US Patent Office for

information if there was a letter to the US PO in the 1880s by William S. Burroughs.

Do YOU have such a plumb bob in your

collection or do YOU know more about it?

Thanks for an answer.



5. PLUMB BOBS FROM DALE RIEDESEL

Dale Riedesel, reader of my newsletter and a

well-known collector from Twin Falls, Idaho

sent me some photos of his collection,

especially some of his small plumb bobs.

Dale has also a big collection of surveying

instruments. On the photos below –that I

found in my archive - is only a small part of

the display shown.

Other plumb bobs are displayed in a niche /

alcove.

If YOU have some photos of your

collection to show here in the newsletter,

please send them.



6. REPAIRED TERAZI TRIANGLE PLUMB BOB

From Bulgaria was offered in May a triangle

plumb bob. We know this type as Ottoman

or Anatolian plumb bobs TYPE 5, called

TERAZI in Turkey. The ‘buy it now price’

was $450. (Not really a bargain). When I

looked at the photos I found that one of the

two hooks was REPAIRED.

Pay attention when you will buy plumb bobs

of this type. No problem to buy a repaired

plumb bob, but the seller should mention it

in the offer. He said: ‘the hooks are sturdy’

and ‘in perfect condition’

7. GREASE GUN PLUMB BOB

I bought from the USA a home-made plumb

bob, made from a patented GREASE GUN.

The patent information

is written on the body.

Arthur Gullborg,

Chicago is the inventor

of this lubrication

apparatus.

The tip is made from

brass and not from steel.

Weight is 1 lbs 11 oz.

It looks good and it is

working well!



8. SOMETHING TO SMILE ABOUT

On a box of beer bottles a PB-collector in

California found a PLUMB BOB.

Thanks Chris

Here comes the story:

Stella Artois Premium Lager Beer has been

brewed in Leuven, Belgium in the same

tradition that can be traced back to 1366,

using only the finest hops and malted

barleys.

Over six hundred years of brewing expertise.

Brewed by Stella Artois Brewery, Leuven,

Belgium.

Did you also know that there’s a special

9-step pouring process for Stella?

It might sound crazy, but these guys are

crazy about their beer, and they insist that

it’s the only way to guarantee a perfect glass:

1. The chill: The beer should be chilled to

and kept at about 36-38 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. The purification: The glass should be

cleaned before serving

3. The unveiling: “She is a thing of beauty,”

so don’t just open it up like any old beer. Be

nice.

4. The alchemy begins: When you begin

pouring the beer from the bottle into the

chalice, hold the chalice at a 45-degree

angle.

5. The crown: Once the beer is near the top

(there’s a line on the side of the chalice to

indicate this), turn it straight up and finish

pouring to give it a thick, foamy head.

6. The beheading: Using the flat edge of a

knife, slice the extra foam off the top of the

chalice.

7. The judgement: Make sure that the head

is sufficient– it should cover the distance

between that line on the side of the chalice

and the very top.

8. The cleaning: Dip the bottom of the glass

in water to remove any spilled beer

9. The bestowal: Place the chalice in front

of the worthy recipient and watch as their

eyes light up

To all plumb bob collectors:
